The Hollywood Reporter Wins 2026 Daytime Emmy Award

The Hollywood Reporter’s Off Script roundtable series won its first Daytime Emmy, taking the arts and popular culture award at the 2026 ceremony. The win follows three consecutive nominations and recognises a series that brings television performers together to discuss their work.

Off Script beat four other nominees and has received six Daytime Emmy nominations since 2017, including three under its earlier title, Close Up With The Hollywood Reporter. Its five episodes focus on drama and comedy actors and actresses, plus stand-up; the series has also expanded to Oscar-season discussions, podcasters and Broadway performers. Executive producer Elisabeth D. Rabishaw accepted the award, thanking the academy, fellow nominees and the AMC Networks team.
